Our DroughtSpotter scales record the loss of weight of every pot with high precision and computes transpiration dynamics and water use efficiency for every single plant. Irrigation activities can be automated with high accuracy and reliability – even during the weekends!
.Assess transpiration rates of plants fully automatically and in high-throughput
.Assess water use efficiency fully automatically
.Design and automate all irrigation activities (optional) in high Precision and reliability
DroughtSpotter is designed to accommodate bigger and unlimited number of pots up to 300 kg. The scales can be used in climate chambers, labs, greenhouses and even under field conditions.
Spot genotypes with improved tolerances towards drought
Providing genotypes with improved tolerances towards drought has become a major focus in science and breeding programs around the world. Assessing water status has become a basic research method, which is increasingly performed by gravimetric measurements. The power of gravimetric measurements lies in its simplicity and the ability to gain integrated and resilient data over the day. We developed DroughtSpotter as a robust and affordable solution for assessing the transpiration rates of hundreds of plants.
